Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (a) Ethanamine

Explanation :

The reaction of haloalkanes with ammonia results in the formation of $1^o,2^o\text{ and }3^o$ amines. The ammonia is act as a nucleophile which attack through their nitrogen atom are termed as nitrogen nucleophiles.

When chloroethane on reacting with the ammonia then it gives the ethanamine as a product by losing the hydrochloric acid.

The reaction will be,

$CH_3CH_2-Cl+NH_3\underset{-HCl}\rightarrow CH_3CH_2-NH_2$

Hence, chloroethane on reacting with ammonia gives ethanamine
